Ya man ace. The closer the better, but id say thats good, i heard that its good for up to 12 inches are something very close to that and anything past that is 'useless'. Something to keep in mind. a computer fan right under it would do wonders.

Econ is the used and replaced ballasts right?
Did i really say that?

Anyways sweet ill have some updates on my set up soon.

I reallly see the auto genes playing a roll, these things are hungary to live. lol.

Fuck ya you can. And youd make some more of that shit your holding in your hand there.

Verticle growing is the most effecient way to grow man, its really simple. You just want to get as much bud around the light as possible. I dont know if you know that much but id love to see another verticle grow.


Matt ya i followed that c99 grow, was pretty nice. You have quite the glass stash there, nice peices.

Dude 150's are the shit, I can't wait to order a 2nd one for my next grow. Dual 150's with this strain will be impressive.

How much will the electric bill go up per month with the 150?
how much do you pay for a KW of electricity and how what hours will you run it....

typically 10cents per KW/H (kilowatt per hour)

if you run 18/6 for a 30 day month then here is the math...

W = Watt
H = Hour
M = Month
1000Watts = 1 Kilowatt (KW)
/ = per or divide (same thing)

150W/H x 18H/D x 30D/M = 81,000 W/M

81,000W/M / 1KW/1000W = 81KW/M

81KW/M * 0.10cents = $8.10 / M



$8.10 bucks to run a 150W HPS for 1 month on a 18 on and 6 off schedule at a 10cents per kilowatt rate (nation average) hawaii is 30cents .. so triple this amount

Alright Ive seen this before and liked it. How do i become part of this club...
I grow dwc prolly the most primtive of all hydro styles and am exploiting al b fucts methods and ideas in my grow. Or at least trying toooo....
Whoever thought of this idea was a genius.
Im growing 13 plants in one tub with 2X150 watt complete kits cuz they make the most sense to me. Im basing my info on all the latest data avialable watts/sq.ft. Plants/sq.ft. In my flower area..
Like i said i dont have much info or havent researched the ideas of the creator. But its nice to know im not the only one with the same thought im sure..

Pimp ur Plants and exploit these ideas to all means neccesary is all i have to say. Research the facts and make sense on how this is going to be accomplished is another.

Peace
